đź’ˇ Printer's Pro-Tip
Quarter-fold cards require one half of your design to be printed "upside down" so that everything is oriented correctly when folded. This layout allows for a front cover, two inside panels, and a back "hallmark" area.
Success Hack: Mark a plain sheet of paper with "Top/Front" and run a test print before using your cardstock to ensure your orientation is perfect!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do they come pre-folded?
No, they arrive as flat 8.5" x 11" sheets so they can easily pass through your printer. The "Magic" is in the pre-scored lines—just fold along the creases after printing for a professional result.
What printer setting should I use?
We recommend selecting "Glossy Cardstock" or "Heavyweight Media". This ensures the rollers pull the paper smoothly and the ink density is optimized for the gloss coating.
Is the interior glossy?
No. The interior is an uncoated matte finish specifically designed for writing messages with any pen or marker without smudging.
